Ok, that's cool, now ask GPT to solve any programming or logic problem at all and maybe you'll start to understand why you can reason and why it can't.

It can solve some problems and not others. But that would be again a different definition of reasoning, not what the parent wrote. And it would exclude animals/humans as reasoning, because they can't solve all logic problems.

I formulated this portion of my post specifically to induce contemplation as to what it is when we, as humans, reason. My hope was that this exercise could provide perspective regarding the difference between our existence and really cool, emergent, novel mathematical algorithms.
That's not a useful definition for judging whether LLMs reason or not. It's not something we can measure on an objective level and introduces another concept of intent which is just as vague as reasoning.
Specifically, an LLM can produce a similar message to what you posted. Everything else about that process is not defined well enough to differentiate you.
